The truth about channel negotiations
Providing you with choice
Astound strives to provide the best TV choices, at a value that makes sense for you and your family. With Network fees dramatically increasing and impacting your monthly bill, we wanted to give you a backstage pass to better understand the economics of the TV business.
Programming costs on the rise
Programming costs are the largest component of your monthly cable bill and they are rising at a rapid pace. Some Networks are asking for increases of 100%, 200% or even higher – and often for the exact same set of channels with no new content. Our goal is to ensure we’re offering you more choice, control and value from all of the TV content you pay for each month.
Why disputes happen
Astound negotiates dozens of agreements to carry local broadcast stations and cable networks each year. We look closely at every single channel on our lineup and evaluate each agreement to ensure we’re offering you more choice, control and value from all of the TV content you pay for each month.
